>>Wow, we can usually depend on you to not descend into bitterness.
>>And OT, too ;-)
Why bitter? In condensing debate to my own tautological soundbite, perhaps I'm having a chuckle.
And why OT? Since the devil made me do it, the issue of responsibility seems highly relevant.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
